They are guides to prevention and to improving the overall response to incidents, not to investigating offenses or handling specific incidents. Neither do they cover all of the technical details about how to implement specific responses. The guides are written for police—of whatever rank or assignment—who must address the specific problem the guides cover. The guides will be most useful to officers who: • Understand basic problem-oriented policing principles and methods. The guides are not primers in problem-oriented policing. They deal only briefly with the initial decision to focus on a particular problem, methods to analyze the problem, and means to assess the results of a problem-oriented policing project. They are designed to help police decide how best to analyze and address a problem they have already identified. (A companion series of Problem-Solving Tools guides has been produced to aid in various aspects of problem analysis and assessment.) • Can look at a problem in depth. Depending on the complexity of the problem, you should be prepared to spend perhaps weeks, or even months, analyzing and responding to it. Carefully studying a problem before responding helps you design the right strategy, one that is most likely to work in your community. You should not blindly adopt the responses others have used; you must decide whether they are appropriate to your local situation. What is true in one place may not be true elsewhere; what works in one place may not work everywhere. ii Spectator Violence in Stadiums • Are willing to consider new ways of doing police business. The guides describe responses that other police departments have used or that researchers have tested. While not all of these responses will be appropriate to your particular problem, they should help give a broader view of the kinds of things you could do. You may think you cannot implement some of these responses in your jurisdiction, but perhaps you can. In many places, when police have discovered a more effective response, they have succeeded in having laws and policies changed, improving the response to the problem. (A companion series of Response Guides has been produced to help you understand how commonly-used police responses work on a variety of problems.) • Understand the value and the limits of research knowledge. For some types of problems, a lot of useful research is available to the police; for other problems, little is available. Accordingly, some guides in this series summarize existing research whereas other guides illustrate the need for more research on that particular problem. Regardless, research has not provided definitive answers to all the questions you might have about the problem. The research may help get you started in designing your own responses, but it cannot tell you exactly what to do. This will depend greatly on the particular nature of your local problem. In the interest of keeping the guides readable, not every piece of relevant research has been cited, nor has every point been attributed to its sources. To have done so would have overwhelmed and distracted the reader. The references listed at the end of each guide are those drawn on most heavily; they are not a complete bibliography of research on the subject. About the Problem-Specific Guides Series iii • Are willing to work with others to find effective solutions to the problem. The police alone cannot implement many of the responses discussed in the guides. They must frequently implement them in partnership with other responsible private and public bodies including other government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, private businesses, public utilities, community groups, and individual citizens. An effective problem solver must know how to forge genuine partnerships with others and be prepared to invest considerable effort in making these partnerships work. Each guide identifies particular individuals or groups in the community with whom police might work to improve the overall response to that problem. Thorough analysis of problems often reveals that individuals and groups other than the police are in a stronger position to address problems and that police ought to shift some greater responsibility to them to do so. Response Guide No. 3, Shifting and Sharing Responsibility for Public Safety Problems, provides further discussion of this topic. The COPS Office defines community policing as “a policing philosophy that promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem-solving tactics and police-community partnerships.” These guides emphasize problem-solving and police-community partnerships in the context of addressing specific public safety problems. For the most part, the organizational strategies that can facilitate problem solving and police-community partnerships vary considerably and discussion of them is beyond the scope of these guides. These guides have drawn on research findings and police practices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. Even though laws, customs, and police practices vary from iv Spectator Violence in Stadiums country to country, it is apparent that the police everywhere experience common problems. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, it is important that police be aware of research and successful practices beyond the borders of their own countries. Each guide is informed by a thorough review of the research literature and reported police practice, and each guide is anonymously peer-reviewed by a line police officer, a police executive, and a researcher prior to publication. The review process is independently managed by the COPS Office, which solicits the reviews. The COPS Office and the authors encourage you to provide feedback on this guide and to report on your own agency’s experiences dealing with a similar problem. Your agency may have effectively addressed a problem using responses not considered in these guides and your experiences and knowledge could benefit others. This information will be used to update the guides.

He had a very brief career as a decent goalkeeper until around the age of fifteen, at which point his strong tendency toward laziness kicked in and he decided to write about sports instead of playing them. When he got to Southern Methodist University, he started writing in sports for the student newspaper. He eventually had jobs at the Dallas Times Herald, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the Memphis Flyer before fleeing the southern summers for Portland, Oregon in 1996. Since then, he has written sports, travel, and outdoors articles for publications all over the country and is the author of five guidebooks for Menasha Ridge Press, including Portland’s best-selling hiking guide, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland. He has guided hiking trips in Oregon, California, Colorado, Italy, and Nepal. Along the way, since writing never really pays the bills, he has also worked for nonprofits, restaurants, tour companies, an insurance company, Radio Cab Company in Portland, and on Alaskan fishing boats. And that’s just what he can remember. Since his first English soccer game in 2011, he has seen more than 100 a hundred contests at more than 60 sixty different grounds. Back at home, he’s a Portland Timbers season ticket holder and a dues-paying member of the Timbers Army; he hates nothing in life more than the last ten minutes of a game when the green and gold are ahead by one goal.

Hooliganism is also present on this continent. While all other countries are affected by acts of hooliganism, Gabon has been spared from this type of sports violence until very recently. The political instrumentalization of football, its use as a "modern watchtower", but also its use as an educational vehicle, have contributed to both the enthusiasm for the game and the framing of the game. The apologetic function of this practice appears exemplary here, although weakened by the political oppositions that undermine the country. While there is no "traditional" hooliganism, the violence surrounding the national team's results questions the political role of this sport in the country. Keywords: hooliganism, football, Gabon. The development of football is global.

  • Football Hooliganism, the Semi-Autonomous Social Field and Public Participation
    Bachelor thesis Liberal Arts & Sciences Major: Law in Europe Tilburg University College FOOTBALL HOOLIGANISM, THE SEMI-AUTONOMOUS SOCIAL FIELD AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Supervisor: dr. K van Aeken Gerrit Altena 1274635 14/06/2018 Football hooliganism has been a problem for a long time, and authorities have yet to solve it. In what follows, the question is posed whether an increase in participation of supporters could lead to a decrease in football violence. In order to answer this question, it will be discussed what football hooliganism exactly is, how supporter participation currently works in the four selected countries, what the causes for football hooliganism are through the lens of the semi-autonomous social field and with the help of a case study into supporter involvement at German second division club FC Sankt Pauli. 1: A background on hooliganism Violence at big sporting events has been a well-recorded phenomenon dating even as far back as at the chariot racing in the Roman Empire (Crowther, 1996). About two thousand years later, sports events are still regularly the backdrop to violence, even though today this is mostly confined to football, due to the sport being the biggest in the world in terms of supporters. The common term to describe such violent behaviour is football hooliganism. The dictionary defines hooliganism as ‘rowdy, violent, or destructive behavior’ (Merriam-Webster, 2018). The word hooligan is said to be an alteration of Houlihan, which was the surname of an Irish family living in London that were known for getting into fights (Pearson, 1983). In the context of football examples of such behaviour include fighting, vandalism and the lighting of fireworks in the stands.

  • SOCCER FANS and SUBCULTURAL MEDIA Prof
    Esporte e Sociedade ano 2, n.5, Mar.2007/Jun.2007 Soccer fans and subculture media Schwier SOCCER FANS AND SUBCULTURAL MEDIA Prof. Dr. Jürgen Schwier Justus-Liebig-Universität Recebido em 1 de março de 2007 Aprovado em 13 de março de 2007 Abstract Soap addicts, fans of Hip Hop, Folk Music, or Basketball have one thing in common: the various forms of their particular fan cultures will have experienced a rapid and extensive medialization over the last decade. Football is no exception – intensive active consumption of mass media representation of the game has long been a hallmark the sport. In this context, the paper will discuss the changes in German fan culture since the 1990s. As in England, two fea- tures are prominent. First, there is the foundation of independent fans´ organizations, which have demanded proper representation within the clubs´ power structures. Second, the emer- gence of fanzine-culture has – offline and online – become a significant motor for change. Fans, therefore, on account of their desire and need to participate, have developed variegated forms of media activity. This paper aims to assess the importance of these media in the chang- ing structures of fandom. Key words: football; media Fan-culture in the change In the last years soccer fans have unfolded increasing own media activity. By means of those they articulate their requests and their need for participation. Single fractions of the fan- scene especially use the World Wide Web in order to produce a media public from below by means of their own homepages, webzines and network campaigns.

  • Konrad ZYSKO GLORIFICATION of VIOLENCE in BRITISH FILMS
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 69/2011 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 8 Konrad ZYSKO GLORIFICATION OF VIOLENCE IN BRITISH FILMS DEPICTING FOOTBALL HOOLIGANISM Scholars and social scientists have been trying to elucidate hooligans' motivations for violence for years. At the same time the press, radio and television have been attempting to raise the public awareness of the hooligan phenomenon. Out of the three media it is the film, "medium that has produced the most brutal, macabre, bloody and excessive scenes of violence, and to which controversy about such representations inevitably returns” (Carter and Weaver 2003: 42) seems to be the most popular tool for the depiction of hooligans. It is also film that seems to remain rather equivocal both in the approach to the phenomenon and in the assessment of its ramifications. As a result, productions which rely heavily on bona fide, gory and hooliganism-related scenes were bom as an answer to both the huge concern and fandom provoked by football hooligans. The aim of this paper is to show that British films depicting football hooliganism have a tendency to glamorize violence or lend justification to some forms of violent behaviour. This propensity and its instances which I am going to take under scrutiny are analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively in films such as The Firm (1988), I.D. (1995), The Football Factory (2004) and Green Street Hooligans (2005). These are feature film productions that deal with the hooligan culture per se, with none or hardly any instances of football-playing scenes, thus putting the sports aspect into the shade or even getting rid of it completely.

Guðmundsson January 2015 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English “Blood and Piss, the Great British Cocktail” A Literary and Sociological Exploration of Football Hooliganism in the 1980s in John King's Novel The Football Factory and Bill Buford's Investigative Journalism in Among the Thugs B.A. Essay Andri P. Guðmundsson Kt.: 081091-2779 Supervisor: Júlían Meldon D'Arcy January 2015 Abstract This essay’s main purpose is to view in detail the portrayal of football hooligans in John King’s novel, The Football Factory, and to compare its characters with Bill Buford’s descriptions of football hooligans in his book Among the Thugs, which he wrote on his travels as he accompanied groups of football supporters for a period of eight years in the 1980s. The essay will offer information on the rise of football hooliganism in the 1960s, its peak in the 1980s and the government’s attempts at intervention, leading to its decline. The essay explores the similarities and differences of the fictionalized violence in John King’s novel and the factual violence in Bill Buford’s account, and their shared themes of confrontations with law enforcement, search for a sense of identity, and the importance of the role of the media in the world of football hooliganism. It also explores several aspects that seem to coalesce in the football hooligans’ lifestyle, such as excessive alcohol consumption leading to physical violence, racism, misogyny and general lawlessness.
